Turn on reader, then Menu > Print > select printer "print to PDF"

Clicking the share button shows an option to save as pdf for me. Never tried it tho so idk if it works well.

Thanks. I tried this as well and it indeed has an option to save as pdf.

I use this extension. It's built on top of Firefox's reader view so it's similar. They also made the extension for other browsers so it's a consistent experience across all of them. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/readability-based-reader-view/

So, can I add this as xpi to mobile Firefox?

Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't available for Firefox Android. I use Kiwi on my phone and Firefox on desktop. A quick Google search says you can use Firefox Nightly to install custom add-on libraries, but I've never done that.

If it's on nightly, I guess it's sometime soon to be on main branch. Well, when that feature lands, there will be a lot of add-ons to add. :)

menu -> print -> "save as pdf"? seems to be there just like it's on desktop version
